Cold Thoughts

Stephanie went to a psychiatrist and said to him.
'' want to ask you about my husband. He thinks he's a refrigerator.”

“Well that's nothing to worry about,”
said the psychiatrist.
“I would say that's quite a harmless obsession.”

'Yes, but the thing is,”
added Stephanie,
“he sleeps with his mouth open and the little light keeps me awake at night.”

OK. Got it!

My Friend Michael Turner once said to me that

  “An indication of the head is as efficacious as a deflection of the eyelid particularly to an equine of diminished optical reflex”

Do you know what he meant?

In this article, it says: "There are people out there who want to get out and socialise... but it has got harder to meet people” - Possibly that is true.



There appears to be less trust in world and people consider meeting others more of a risk than it used to be.



Sad but true - What do you think?

Spinning Dancer

Further to “Hermann Grid Illusion” Posted on 20 September, 2010 by AyPee, here is another famous illusion, The Spinning Dancer illusion.

The spinning dancer illusion shows an ambiguous silhouette that appears to abruptly change direction.

click on the picture

What Do You See?

In this image, you see the silhouette of a woman spinning. Which direction is she turning? You may be surprised to learn that it is possible to see her spinning both clockwise and counter clockwise. How?
While it may be very difficult, you can probably get her to switch directions spontaneously. Try looking at the figure and then blink; she may appear to change directions immediately after you blink. Another strategy is to focus on a specific part of the figure.

How Does the Spinning Dancer Illusion Work?

After it was initially created by Nobuyuki Kayahara, the illusion was mistakenly referred to as a scientific personality test of right brain/left brain dominance by numerous websites and blogs. In reality, the spinning dancer illusion is related to bistable perception1 in which an ambiguous 2-dimensional figure can be seen in from two different perspectives.2 Because there is no third dimension, our brains try to construct space around the figure.
